Product notes

This year was perfect grape ripening weather with balanced sugars, colours and acidity. These conditions resulted in a later harvest, some three to four weeks, than recent years, which was a return to ‘normal’. The later harvest allowed grapes to ripen more slowly and evenly with a gradual accumulation of sugars and flavours, which is exactly what we look for when making high quality Barossa wines. The yields were around 20 - 30% higher than the five year average.

Tasting notes

This vintage is the perfect pairing with summer with pale gold and green hues. Citrus and peach come together nicely for this medium-bodied foodfriendly wine with hints of oyster shell minerality, zest and a little spice flowing through to the finish.

Very well put together. Concentration of peachy fruit characters on the palate help to carry the length, and the balanced acidity provides a refreshing, herbaceous finish.

Aromas of poached pears, peaches and melon lead to a palate with a fresh, pear and apple core, as well as some gently crispy, chalky texture. A blend of 47% viognier, 29% marsanne, 12% roussanne and 12% clairette.
